The name of the book is the ethhical lobbyist reforming washingtons influence industry. Because when you read what others have written about the lobbying profession from that an ethical point of view, a lot of it is about that. All kinds of lobbying are unethical. That lobbying essentially ought to be banned. Or that maybe lobbyists spend more time trying to represent marginalized, disadvantaged populations to provide some kind of pro bono advocacy work in the same way that lawyers provide pro b...
